I have no idea how someone could care so much about someone else having Christmas lights up year round. My neighbors have various colored lights up year round all over the front of their place. Why should I give a shiat? If she's 84 I might ask if she wants me to help her take them down, but that would be about the most I'd care.

If they install Xmas lights on MY windows or MY porch or MY dog, then I'll care. Maybe. Not if they're tasteful I guess, and seasonable. Probably.

I digress. The letter was really, really crass, but how was it threatening enough that the police really care? Maybe the "don't make me tell you again" was the part that was threatening enough they want to investigate? Maybe he just meant, "don't make me tell you again or I'll start decorating my house with strippers and taco trucks." To me, strippers and taco trucks all over a neighborhood sounds like a great place to live, but I bet it would drive that woman crazy.

I drive home from work shortly after midnight every week night. I like that there are still some lights wired up in some trees on the way home. It's pretty and fun, and non-boring. People that are upset about this need to get a life, or at least a sex life.

Neighbor two houses over has had at least 1huge tow-behind camper in his driveway since moving in 4 years ago. Sometimes they have 2. Never 0, not once. Looks like hell. Fark 'em. Evidently they are too stupid to just sell the thing they are not using and enjoy the money.

Someone who cars that much that a LOL in the neighborhood likes her Christmas lights too much is a bit deranged if you ask me. When that somewhat deranged tells a LOL "don't make me tell you again", it's time to involve the police. So fingerprint the idiotic note and go have a talk with the sender. Then send them a bill for the cost. Call it the "asshat tax".
